What’s New
Version 1.0.17
FEATURES
- Black Screen Prevention on iOS | Axis & Allies 1942 Online on iOS will now use Minimal High Quality Sprites by default: only unit icon sprites will be used on the game & combat boards. The setting (which players can find & tweak to their liking in Graphics -> Image Content And Resolution) will hopefully mitigate black screens and constant reloading. The Use Minimal Resources setting will also cause no animations and unit icon sprites only, but at a lower resolution than default
- New Defense Profiles | You can now pick from new options of Defense Profiles for Submarines and Destroyers! Differentiate between lone Subs and Subs with a fleet when
automatically submerging, or select the last defending Destroyer to be preserved in an encounter with attacking Subs
FIXES
- Game History now shows players who forfeited in Custom games
- Purchase Panel and Map Notes should be more accessible on mobile devices with unusual screen resolutions
- Fixed an incorrect error message when attempting to move a transport to a non-hostile sea zone in the Combat Move phase
- Fixed The Victory Cities text in the Help More Victory City list section
- More crash fixes
Ratings and Reviews
Stability
This has so much potential!! If it didn’t crash so often it would be a solid 5 stars. Bottom line is it crashes a solid 50% of the time as you transition into the battle view. Most of the time you can restart and “more slowly” do the battle, other times you just can’t proceed with the game as the battle conditions itself has some problems. The same game/battle on my laptop is 100% stable (it shares your online profile between phone and computer), so I know it’s just a problem with phones.
Developers, if it helps: it was still flaky but much less so with my older iPhone XS Max. When I got the iPhone 13 Pro Max it’s really bad - so it seems like there’s some kind of timing issue happening the faster the processor is.
Please please please fix the constant crashes going into battles!! It’s a gorgeous game with awesome ease of use and as I mentioned above, so much potential! It would be my go-to mobile game if it was stable. Thanks in advance!
Overall a good game
I bought this with a little apprehension given the reviews. So far so good and I have played over a dozen solo games. The only time the game has an error is when I have it open for a very long time and try to play it again. I simply close the app and the game goes right back to where I was so no damage. Overall the game is great and I enjoy it. I am more of a solo player so I would love a better AI. After awhile you learn it’s patterns so you think you are getting better but no way to tell unless you play another person. It would be nice if they made the AI smarter and more unpredictable. Multi-player games could take a very long time so a better AI would allow you to play more while you wait your next turn.
Given the latest patch release date I don’t know if the developer is even supporting the game anymore or plans on making any improvements. There is so much potential if they decide to invest in the game. I would definitely be open to buying a one time payment amount if DLC released just like when you buy the actual game.
Lastly it’s refreshing to pay for a game once and get all the content. No micro transactions and chasing a meta that you will never catch. While the price may be a little high if you think about all the micro transactions you can make with other games the price is really good.
I want to rate higher, but I can’t.
I really don’t like that I have to be so negative here, I want to rave about how great this is, but I can’t. This game is literally unplayable. Tutorial? Game loads, then freezes on black screen. Single player against computer? Game loads, then freezes on black screen. I’ve tried axis and ally factions, same problem. Only time the game works is in hot seat mode. (I haven’t tried online against other players yet, I’m afraid of eating a slot in someone’s game and just being able to never play my turn due to the above described black screen issue). I know we’ve got Christmas and New Years here, and I understand y’all (the devs) are busy with family and friends, rightfully so, but as soon as the holidays are over, please fix ASAP, I want to rate this game highly, but I just can’t in its current state.
Update: I’ve discovered I have 0 issues running the game on my old, 5th gen iPad. The issues I described above persist on my iPhone 13 pro. I followed the recommendation of lowering the performance, and I can at least access all game modes now; however, it’s still a common occurrence to have to force quit the game 3-7 times per PHASE of a turn because it freezes, or goes into a loading cycle that leads no where. As soon as this game is as useful on my iPhone as it is my iPad, I will absolutely bump my review up.
